Hello, I am new to this group. I would like to make a queen orking size whole cloth quilt. I made a small one before and quite enjoyed it. Would anyone of you know a good source for buying a preprinted whole cloth quilt? I have seen the Christian Lane ones, there seem to be 2 patterns only.
Thank you, and happy quilting,

Comment by Linda J Rogers on January 18, 2012 at 1:52am Would a panel quilt be considered a whole cloth quilt? I've done a few panel quilts over the years. My last one was a baby quilt for my new grandbaby. There's a photo on my profile. I have a couple more I want to start on. Would this be the right place to talk about 'em? They'll be hand quilted.
Comment by Fleta Boltin on December 4, 2011 at 7:40pm Hello everyone, I am preparing to embark on my first whole cloth quilt. I would like to include some trapunto and shadow trapunto on it. I've watched A LOT of videos on this and everyone says to use white batiste. This quilt will be one that is used, not just displayed. My question is this....Should I be looking for a 100% cotton batiste material, or polyester batiste or a blend? I'm finding all three of those types so I'm just not sure which way to go. This is a wedding gift so I want to do everything right or at least as right as I can get it. :) Thanks in advance. Any advice will be appreciated.
Good morning everyone. Welcome to the group Rose. Have you ever made a whole cloth quilt? There are many places to get designs for whole cloth quilts. I usually design my own, but I have found a new place that I am going to purchase some designs to play with. The company is, http://pdf.onesongneedlearts.com/. They have recently added PDF vector images to their business. These designs can be downloaded after purchase and printed out to any size that you might like. They have a free sample download available to try out. I think that their designs are gorgeous and I am looking forward to some hand quilting time this winter. Also, christianlanequilters.com has whole cloth quilt top kits available. I have some of Irena Bluhm's books. She makes beautiful quilts and has a great web site. Does anyone else have a favorite place to get designs from?
